21/04/2017: SITEC: Nutriad´s technical symposium Brazil

For the fourth consecutive year, multinational feed
additives producer Nutriad, hosted a well-attended technical symposium in
Brazil, where current trends and future challenges in animal protein production
were discussed

Ten renowned industry experts, from academic and industry background, presented
to an international group of poultry and swine producers at the Costão do
Santinho Resort in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina.

Participants varying from producers coming from integrators, feed and premixer
producers as well as consultants, veterinarians, nutritionists and researchers
interacted with global experts that hosted talks on the global agribusiness in
general and Brazil focusing on areas as feed intake via palatability, mycotoxin
management and digestive performance.

The opening day was dedicated to the applications of flavours and sweeteners in
animal feed to promote nutrition at critical life stages.

Nutriad’s David Vanni Jacob, from Brazil and Simon Eskinazi from UK provided
the audience with an array of technical data from across the world.

As producers sometimes have difficulties in determining the real threat that
mycotoxins pose to their animals, the second day of the program was dedicated
to enhance the understanding of mycotoxin management.

According to the event's host, Marcelo Nunes, Managing Director Nutriad South
America, the 4th edition of SITEC once more exceeded expectations, "The
intention is always to offer our clients and partners a program with relevant
and updated guidelines on maximising the potential of their animals. At SITEC
we are not only presenting technical content, we promote the interaction
between attendants and speakers to forge productive relationships. Choosing
Florianopolis to host our symposium - against the back drop of exuberant
beaches and stunning nature - further confirms SITEC as one of the most
prestigious events in the sector.”
